i don't know whats changed lately with my squats but they're so incredibly strong recently, finally back on the bench, the programme said to dial it back so i did, but was still solid lifts and only a slight discomfort in my shoulder and I've dialled it back on the rows to concentrate on form, I'm keeping my torso parallel to the floor and only counting a rep if the bar comes in contact with my body. on the whole I'm really happy with today.

everything today felt really solid, inner thighs feel bit better, bench was really good, i thought my right shoulder was feeling week after the first rep and i then realised it was lifting an extra 5kg haha rows were amazing, keeping my torso stock still and upping the tempo a little is really making a difference.

on a side note i think i know why ive been struggling on deads, and why my inner thighs feel over trained, my deads were way too heavy on the legs and not the back, more like a squat. im going to de load to about 60kg and clean up my form, might deload on squats for a week too, just to let my legs have a break, see what that does.

squats were still good, now squatting over my body weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, press was a struggle but better than last time, dialled it down on deads but focussed on form, mainly back now and it feels sooooooooo good, makes so much sense now

didnt do squats today as my inner left thigh isnt feeling great, there are now no 1.25kg plates at the gym cos some meat head broke then so i could only do 45kg benching but it felt a lot stronger than last time and rows were feeling really strong

yeah did shoulder presses and reads as still not feeling great with my thigh for squats, missing them like fuck though, going away till monday tomorrow so will have no choice but to rest and will make sure i come back stronger than ever, hows yours going?

still not doing squats until monday as my left inner thigh still feels weak, could only do 30kg shoulder presses as no 1.25 plates still but they felt very strong and had solid form, and reads still good.

Didn't relaise you had replied mate sorry! Yeahh all good here dude, just tested all my maxes and am setting up an idea of what I'll be lifting for the next 6 weeks or so, have fun wherever you're going and I look forward to an update on monday

i dont know if its because ive had a few days off training or because ive got a slight lower back twinge but i bottomed out big time on my squats, didnt go up on weight with bench because my confidence was down from squats and wanted one more solid session with 45kg, rows were a pretty awesome finish to a crappy session.

felt like a god damn bear today form was spot on across the board and my lifts sky rocketed as a result:). made two new personal records and felt like a king. the worries i had after mondays debacle have been well and truly blown out of the water. this is the best ive ever felt.

Nice one on the PRs matey! Was gonna post a bunch of weird emoticons but after seeing the kermit one and getting excited I got a little carried away hahaha! Hope everythings cool where you are dude, and seriously awesome work on the training
